Christmas

The Liberian Christmas is a church day, a family day, and a food day. The church service is at midnight on the 24th, and the singing is in English and the local languages. The Christmas meal includes jollof rice, fried chicken, cassava leaf, potato greens, and sweet potato pie. The children receive gifts, usually clothes and shoes, and the adults exchange visits. The Christmas is not about presents. It is about presence, and the tradition is to visit every relative you have on Christmas Day. The streets of Monrovia are decorated with lights, the churches are full, and the sound of Christmas carols mixes with the sound of Liberian gospel music.

Navidad

National holiday. The day after Nochebuena when everyone eats leftovers and recovers. Children play with toys, adults sleep, and the house smells like picana for three more days. This is the quietest day in Bolivia and it is earned.

Noel

National holiday. Catholic families attend morning mass, Muslim families visit neighbors, and everyone eats. The riz gras is extra rich, the chicken is extra big, and the children are extra happy. Burkina celebrates together regardless of faith because a holiday is a holiday and food is food.

Eid al-Milad

Kuwait's Christian community (about 10 percent of the population, mostly expatriate) celebrates Christmas with church services at the Kuwait Evangelical Church, the Catholic Church, and the Coptic Orthodox Church. The churches are packed, and the services are in English, Arabic, Tagalog, and Malayalam. The Christmas trees in the malls are 10 meters tall, and the shopping is enthusiastic. The religious tolerance in Kuwait is mandated by the constitution, and the churches are protected by law. The National Evangelical Church of Kuwait was founded in 1931 and is one of the oldest Protestant churches in the Gulf.

Animals of Comoros Day

You encounter the Comoros lemurs and endemic flying foxes that inhabit these Indian Ocean islands, along with the critically endangered coelacanth fish in surrounding waters. You will find that Comorians commonly keep chickens, goats, and occasionally cats as household animals. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
